Becky’s a Star!

“This ad made me uncomfortable with myself in that moment. I felt attacked in my own home space. I’ve never felt attacked by a show,” says Becky Canary-King, a 22-year-old Senior at Carl[e]ton College in Minnesota. She surfed to Hulu to get her weekly fix of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, a show somewhat notorious for its filth. But the CK ad shocked her just the same.

“It’s different because I chose to watch the show and I know what’s going to be on it,” she said. “I work at a gender and sexuality center. I’m fine with talking about sex. It was the way the content was displayed. It was the aggression behind it.”
